Jones LashesPresent Setup

In chapel yesterday, Bob Jones. President of the P

IFC. gave his critique of Davidson's fraternity system.He began his speech with the)

assertion that a fraternity sys-tem should further the aims ofthe college at which it is lo-cated. With this basis he sur-

Why Fraternity?See Editorialon Pag* Two

veyed several aspects of Da-vidson's fraternity set up.

The first point he stresseddealt with the disproportionatepowerof the fraternities due tothe large percentage of mem-bership.This couldbe resolved.!he felt, with a larger and!stronger independent group.

He next criticizedthe current"survival of the fittest" com-petition among the fraternities,stressing that in such an un-balance of strength the healthycompetition which strengthensa fraternity is prohibited.

Rush week needed some defi-nite correction he said. His per-sonal preference was for a rush:week combined with orienta-1

tion similar to the practice olWashington and Lee Universi-ty

His forth point concerned theenormous size of some fraterni-

] ties.He suggestedas an alterna-1 live to the present emphasis ofquantity of members a programthat would emphasize quality.This basically was an arrange-ment for preferential biddingand a quota pledging system.

A final point was that of HellWeek. The presentpractices, hestated, were as inefficient amethod of producing unity inthe fraternity and pledge classas possible. Inaddition he point-ed out that Hell Week has beenstrongly condemned by the Na-tional Interfratemity Confer-ence and by every national fra-ternity.

In concluding he stressedthat although some of his ideasmight seem radicaland new. inreality they comprised a basical-ly conservative program de-signe to make Davidson's fra-ternity system more effective.

College Church GetsNew Hymn Books

Students at the college vesper services will be sing- Jing from a new pan-Presbyterian hymnal, .six hundred iand fifty copies of which have been placed this week <

in the College Church. '11 Titled simply Th» Hymnbook,- the- volume was produced in1 1955 by the five major branches- of the Reformed faith in this- country — the Associate Re-

formed Presbyterian Church,the Reformed church in Ameri-

I|ca (Dutch), the United Presby-; terian Church, and the Prrsby-i terian Churches. U. S. and" U. S. A.

Members of the Department- of Music who have examined. the new hymnal point out that

it has nearly three times asmuch resource material for ser-vices of public worship as thebook which has been in usefor thr past five yean, and thatthe musical setting of manyhymns is vastly superior tothose in the former hymnal.

Keillor of The Hymnboofc wasDr. David Hugh Jonos of Prince-ton, and servingon the editorialcommittee was W. TalliaierroThompson, '09.

We have a feeling that their highschool training might have had sone-thing to do with it We wonder, never-theless, just how many do read anewspaper, or a national magazine,orevena historical novel every now andthen

Mr. Hobart denies that the Trustees have directedthat the front campus be converted into a minature golfcourse, therein squelching the rumors that the GreatGray Golfer has been asked to occupy the empty whitehouse on North Main Street (aiess wellhave to keep look-ing.
